VIRGINIA AGRICULTURAL AND NECHAN-
ICAL COLLEGE.
The resolution providing that the
chairman of the Committee on Schools
and Colleges be authorized to appoint
committee composed of five, whose
duty it shall be TO visit the Virginia
Agricultural and Mechanical College
and report TO this Legislature the con-
dition and management of the said col
lege, was taken up, having been re-
ported favorably upon by the Commit
tee on Schools and Colleges.
The subject provoked some little dis
cussion.
Mr.. Curlett said the expense to the
State would be very little if anything,
and Mr.. Hoge thought the investiga-
ton was necessary; that the matter had
been before the committee, and that
committee had heard Judge Staples and
others, and favored the resolution.
Mr.. Cardwell strenuously opposed
the measure. II meant, he claimed. q
useless expenditure OF money. Further
than that, the committee would proba-
bly, come back with q resolution to ap-
propriate $40, 900 to repair the buildings
| of the institutions and the State was
unable to take that money out Of her
Treasury now. Besides, the Legisla-
| ture had been called to consider i'm
portant subjects, and il could not afford
to send its members away on pleasure
trips.
Mr.. Cardwell in his remarks referred
to the astonishing bills which some
former investigating committees footed
ND for the State.
Messrs. Mayo and Waddill spoke
favorably to the resolution.
The resolution was lost-ayes, 36 I;

Tried to Kill His Wife.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. AT 800
O'Clock this morning Alois ProeI, aged
sixty, German laborer living corner
Gray and Carlton streets, presented
himself at the police station and asked
to be locked up, as he had killed his
wife. His hands were covered with
blood, and he said that he had struck
his wife four times with an AK. When
the officers reached the house the woman
was found lying in bed in a pool of
blood with two deep gashes on the right
side of her head. One blow had crushed
through the skull, infiicting a fatal
wound. Proelfs announcement of his
act was made in an unconcerned way,
but he declined to say anything as to his
reason for committing the deed. Satur-
day last Proell was arrested on COM
plant of his daughter, who charged him
with attempting to commit criminal
assault upon her. He was bailed on
Monday, and was let out on bail. The
neighbors think ProeH is insane. His
victim is still alive, but cannot recover.

A GREAT INDUSTRY.
Statistics Regarding the CaIifor-
MIA Wine Cron.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Another eff
fort is to be made next session of con-
gress to get some action in the way of
encouragement for the wine industry of
this country. Reports from California
show that the wine crop of the present
year is going to be something astOnish-
ing. Work upon the making of wines
in California is just begun. There are
at present 4,264 wine growers in the
state, and an average of 100000 acres of
vines are in bearing estimated at a value
OF s60,000,000. Work is given to 10000
people in the vineyards, and the cooper
ing, bottling and boX-making depart
ments. The total vintage for 1887 will
sum up 16,T00,000 of gallons. distributed
in the following countries: Napa,
100000; alameda and Contra Costa,
100000: Santa Clara, 100000: Santa
Cruz, 100000; Fresno, 100000; San
Joaquine, 100000; Southern Califor-
mia, 100000; Northern California,
100000; the small interior coun-
ties combining 100000. Together
with the surplus of 1856 there will be at
the close of the vintage 21,6O0,000 gal
Ions of wine in the state, land over $780,
900 gallons will be made into brandy.

THE NATIONAL PARK.

The report of Capt. HARRIS, acting
superintendent of the Yellowstone Ma
tional park. to the secretary of the in
terror. is an interesting document. 1t
shows very clearly, for one thing, that
no mistake has been made in selecting
Capt. HARRIS as the parks guardian.
Under his direction the park rules have
been so well maintained that for the
first time since the great national reser-
Walton has been known TO the hunter
and tourist the varied kinds Of game
within its borders have been unmo-
Tested.
Huge herds of elk, frequent bands of
antelope and countless deer have safely
wintered in the park, although in other
portions of the West they have been
conspicuous chiefly by their absence.
Having a force of soldiery at his disposal
Capt. HARRIS could more easily force
compliance with the rules established for
the preservation of game, and could, of
course, readily eXpel intruders. And
he hasn't hesitated to do it.
Experience has therefore shown that
the interests of the government are bet
tCI DiOl6ClCu Will Gilt Ill
than with civil superintendent in au-
thority. The appropriation which Capt.
HARRIS asks for the further develop
ment and maintenance of the park is,
all things considered. a moderate one.
The estimate reaches S145, ZOO; for roads
and bridges, $3.50, 200; for care and pres
ervatiOn of game, $1,000; for surveying
and marking boundaries, $4,000; for
purchase of toll bridge, $4,000. Although
the committee on appropriations will
very probably reduce the total, it might
well incline to liberality in the matter
of park appropriations.
For the Yellowstone National park is
bound, for all time to come, to be one of
the wonders of the continent, and it is
the duty of congress to see that it is al
lowed to lose nothing of its interesting
nature through inadequate appropria-
lions.

ANGRY NEGROES.
Matters Which Have Aroused the

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 7.-Twelve or

negroes, Joe Waller, had been killed.
On Tuesday Judge Dubose ordered five

the city late last evening from Bruins

STATE HIGH SCHOOLS.

The annual report of the state high
school board of examiners discloseS a
highly satisfactory state of things.
During the past year sixty-four high
schools were in successful operation,
and the work they have been doing is
an excellent one. The high school is
the peoples college and while less pre-
tensions in its character than most of
the alleged colleges it achieves equally
good results.
As general thing the average West
ern college, is top heavy. In furnish
ing practical instruction it can rarely
compete with the high school, and the
smattering of the ologies and super
fetal acquaintance with the classics
which it does give, while but feeble
imitation of the course of study Of
fered by more substantial institutions is
but poor substitute for the common
sense methods of the high school.
There should be little of the orna-
mental furnished in these state inStitu-
tons. The students who attend them
don't care a rap for intellectual frills and
furbelows. They haven't time for mental
frumpperies and fripperies. What they
do want and what they should have is
good practical knowledge of English
literature, the sciences and the kindred
studies which, while developing their
mental powers, will aid them in the
every day affairs of life to which their
attention must be directed as soon as
they leave the school.
1t is all very well for the youth who
has the inclination and who can afford
both the time and expense to devote
himself to the requirement of liberal
education at one of the leading universe
ties. In no occupation will he find such
learning come amiss. But it is not the
province of the high schools to provide
mental culture of this kind, more or less
ornamental, at the expense of the prac-
teal learning which the high school
graduate can Immediately turn to ac-
count.
For this reason we do not share Prof.
NoRTHIop's regret that it has been
been found impracticable in many cases
to include the study of Greek ilrthe
course of many of the high schools.
The able professor, being Yale gradu-
ate OF many years standing, naturally
is in sympathy with the old-time col
1ege curriculum and has that reverence
for the classics which is rapidly disap-
pearing among college men of latter
day, who regard the live modern Ian
guageS as infinitely superior to the dead
ancient ones. The amount of Greek a
high school student could acquire dur
ing his course would be very limited in
deed, and even could it be increased
tenfOld it would be far less valuable to
him than as thorough an acquaintance
with one of the foreign tongues which
he may hear spoken every day.
Greek, and possibly Latin, too
though the latter being so intimately re-
lated to the English language has bet
ter claim for recognition-properly have

study, and if they are tn he given at the

congress had been smothed over.

TEXAS FEVER.
1t Has Gained an Alarming Foot
hold in Chicago.

nOlu III CnlcaSO.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE live stock
commissioners OF the state have discover
ed the existence Of another cattle plague
which is killing off the cattle in the
southern part of the city at a rapid rate.
The disease is Texas fever, which has
been imported here from the South, and
has been communicated to the animals
which have been taken from the stock
yards during the past thirty days. Prof.
Law, of the national bureau Of animal
industry, said yesterday that this disease
had been brought here by the Texan
cattle received at the stock yards, and
although these animals were apparently
in fine condition and good health, they
were nevertheless full OF the germ
poison of this fatal disease. From the
reports received, the animals affected
have died at the rate of five day since
the first of August, and this rate of
mortality would probably be increased
within few days. Prof. Law is of the
firm opinion that the shipping of Texan
cattle to the North and East during the
warm months should be prohibited by
the government and by all the state au-
thorities, as only in this way can the
native cattle be protected from this fatal
disease. Every effort is being made to
stop the spread of the disease. In re-
gard to the continued existence OF pleuro
pneumonia, Prof. Law said the disease
might be considered as practically
stamped out. During the month of
August only fourteen cases were dis
covered, and these simply indicated an
adhesion between the lung and chest.
They were old cases of three to ten
months standing, and were not conta-
giOus i'll any sense whatever. In regard
to the prevalence of hog cholera
throughout the state, the professor said
there was no doubt of its existence in
many localities, with most fatal results.
The disease, he thought, was attribute
bic to the long drouth and the scarcity
of water and green food.

MALODOROUs MARLBOROUGH

There is certain person now at an
Eastern watering place who has led
such life of debauchery that even in
his own country, England, not over
scrupulous,he is stunned by all respect
able people. Though nominally a gen
tleman. he is as little fit to wear the
title he has inherited as would be the
lowest Digger Indian, lost to everything
save his bestial instincts.
Yet this person comes to America.
counting upon the name he bears being
sufficient to secure his reception by
Americans with open arms. tits very
poor compliment he pays the Americans
i'll thus supposing that the glamour of
title will blind all their finer sensibili-
ties and close their eyes to moral black
ness as dark as mind can conceive. but
it seems that he was not entirely mis-
taken.
AT Newport, reputed to be the most
select of American watering places,
some members of society" fastened to
make the malodorous MARLBOROUGH
welcome, though to their credit, be it
said, he has been ignored by most of
them. The entering wedge has been
made, however, and before the winter is
over he expects to find himself in high
favor in New York. That Americans
should thus stultify themselves is hardly
conceivable, but there is one thing GER
tain if the disgraced duke should come
West, no matter what sort of reception
he meets with in the metropolis, he
would more likely receive an invitation
to ride a rail than to dine.
If MARLBOROUGH is generally ac-
cepted in New Y ork society" the devil
himself would be more than justified in
leaving his visiting card at the houses
of the metropolitan ''best families"
But perhaps he has done so already in
more than one instance.

THEY ROB THE VETS.
A Scheme to Protect Old Soldiers
from Thieying SaIoOnkeeners


LONG BRANCH, n. j., Sept. THE
annual meeting of the board of man.
ayers of the National Soldiers home
opened here last night and was resumed
this morning. Among the questions to
be considered is the proposed establish
ment of saloon on the grounds of the
home at Milwaukee. This scheme
is strongly supported by Gen. Knox,
the secretary of the institution, as
well as by Hon. John L. Mitchell. the
resident manager. 1t is the first ques-
ton of the kind that has ever been
brought before the body, and the pro-
posal is strongly urged upon the
ground that a nest of saloons have
grown up in the vicinity of the home
TO which the veterans who are allowed
to come and go as they please have
continued access. These saloon
lists, it is charged, practice
upon their visitors, absorbing nearly
every cent of money that they receive,
and it is to reform the order of things
that the management seeks to estab-
fish saloon upon the grounds. The
board will also arrange for their trip to
the Pacific coast, where they Will 90 in
November to locate a site for the new
home which was provided for by con-
gress at its last session. This institu-
ton is badly needed, as the Milwaukee
and LeayenWOrth homes are badly over
crowded by the pressure of veterans
from the extreme Western states.
